I'm digging those fog photos -- dense fog isn't all that common at this time of year, and now I'm realizing that I had a missed opportunity last week when we had two days of dense fog and I was too wrapped up in other tasks to take advantage of it.

You're dissappointed with your use of Caffeinol? Your results are much better than other's I've seen with that process.

Brad, are light leaks common with Cinestill films? I seem to remember reading something about that but my memory is foggy. Personally I'm not a fan of films without anti-halation layers, but I appreciate it when people use that effect artistically as you did in your photo. OTOH if light leaks are a common problem that's a deal-breaker for me.

I've only shot those two rolls of Cinestill, but I know many others have had similar experiences with all the Cinestill films. See, for example, Bastian's experience with Cinestill 800T here: https://phillipreeve.net/blog/analogue-adventures-part-7-cinestill-800t/

The odd thing is that Cinestill expressly advertises 400D as having better quality control and fewer issues with light leaks, but that was certainly not my experience. Only about 12 frames out of the 64 I shot were free of light leaks. I don't plan to shoot it (or any other Cinestill film) again.

Well, thank you and that's good to hear regarding my Caffenol results. I will compare with a more traditional developer. I like Caffenol because it's so much less harmful.

Here's a few more:

Leica M4-P + Canon 50/1.4 LTM
Kentmere 400 pushed to 1600
Caffenol Developer
Scanned with Valoi Easy 35 / Laowa 90/2.8 / Sony A7R5

I don't mind it in this picture either. I just loaded my camera with 800T, am curious if it'll have light leaks.

Ilford Ortho 80 shot with strobes in the Pentax 6x7 and 165mm f/4 Leaf Shutter lens. Developed in Rodinal.

This was my first time shooting portraits like this with ortho 80 and I like the slightly surreal look of it quite a bit

The leak looks like that on every image? I've had light leaks w Cinestill but only at the beginning of the roll.

Not every image, but most of them. The one I posted was one of the least distracting leaks. Here are examples of more typical light leaks from these two rolls. Their position in the frame makes me wonder if they were caused by static discharge when I wound the film on between shots, although it wasn't particularly dry outside. I shot lots of other rolls of film with the same camera on the same trip, and no light leaks (except the expected ones at the beginning of the roll).

One of the reasons I love Canon's f/1.2 lenses! These were taken with the 1V and EF 85mm 1.2L

Ok, that is weird. I've only had it at the beginning w Cinestill. And the fact that your camera was fine with other films rules out the camera. Which means Cinestill is at fault in the mfg OR your lab messed up by not taking enough care while developing.
